Our selection of aftermarket lighting is perfect for your vehicle!</p>
<p>With kits available from <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/brand.jsp?brand=Hella&amp;affiliate=EB8">Hella</a>, <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/brand.jsp?brand=PIAA&amp;affiliate=EB8">PIAA</a> and <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/brand.jsp?brand=KC+HiLiTES&amp;affiliate=EB8">KC HiLiTES</a>, you have the option to put out as much light as you want. Currently installed on my JK Rubicon are several sets of Hella Optilux lights. Before making upgrades to my current vehicle, I used to own a 1997 TJ where I installed KC Daylighters that lit up the night.</p>
<p>Hella Optilux L.E.D. lights are a great option for the budget-minded buyer that wants to add new lights to their vehicle. We offer L.E.D. light bars in several sizes up to 31.5&quot;.</p>
<p>On my JK Rubicon, I have two sets of the <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/detail.jsp?ID=1182&amp;brand=Hella&amp;affiliate=EB8">Hella Optilux 4-L.E.D. Cube Driving Lamp Kits</a> and spot lights. The spots are great for seeing distances as I have them aimed down the road at the shoulders so I can see deer and other hazards before they see me. A set of the driving lights is wired into my factory wiring harness replacing my Original Equipment fog lights and mounted to an aftermarket bumper.</p>
<p>If you&#39;re looking for some extra light behind you when backing up, you can do what I did and build some <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/detail.jsp?ID=1194&amp;brand=Hella&amp;affiliate=EB8">Hella Optilux 6-L.E.D. Mini Light Bars</a> into your rear bumper, or bolt them straight on. Splicing them into your reverse lights is easy, and that way you have great visibility as soon as you put it in reverse.</p>

<p>Have the staggered factory set up: 245/45 R 19 Y front and 275/40 R 19 Y rear. These tires are OEM for the 750Li. The Dunlop Sport SP 01 A is basically a solid tire with a good balance of ride and handling. Treadwear is fair for a UHP Summer tire - get 25K out of rears and 18K our of fronts. The fronts start to get noisy around 8K and they wear quickly on the outer shoulder (from BMW forums this is a common complaint of this tire) - a shame to have replace the tire @18K when the middle and inside has 7/32 tread but the outer shoulder is worn down to the belt. My only other critique is that these tires tend to tramline and are hella expensive. This is my 2nd set as I wanted to keep factory ride and handling; however will try another tire next time.</p>Mon, 27 Jan 2014 18:20:04 +0000http://blog.TireRack.com/blog/tire-rack-consumer-reviews/tire-rack-consumer-review-of-the-dunlop-sp-sport-01-aTire Rack Consumer ReviewsTire Rack Has New Ways to Beat Winter's Cold and Dark Days http://blog.TireRack.com/blog/bens-blog/tire-rack-has-new-ways-to-beat-winters-cold-and-dark

<p>
Winter is the coldest and darkest time of the year. That makes it the perfect time for some of our new products to help keep the cold, gloom and lethargy at bay.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Just because the weather is colder doesn&#39;t mean that you have to give up on outdoor activities. Our new <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=193&amp;category=Apparel&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Pullover">Sport-Tek&reg; Sport-Wick Stretch Half-Zip Pullovers</a> are perfect as an outer layer when exercising in milder winter weather, or as an inner layer in more severe winter conditions.</p>
<p>
The moisture wicking Sport-Tek material keeps you dry, while the 10% spandex allows the garment to move with you without slowing you down.&nbsp;These high-tech pullovers are available in both a <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=195&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Black">black</a> and <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=194&amp;brand=Tire+Rack&amp;cat=Apparel&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Grey">grey</a> color for men and women.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Sunset comes early this time of year. Safe driving requires looking ahead to be prepared for any upcoming obstacles. Driving on snowy or icy roads means that you will need extra time to complete any necessary braking or steering. When driving at night, do your car&#39;s headlights project far enough down the road?&nbsp;</p>

Many of us will be driving back and forth to work in the dark. The only thing between you and the unknown in front of your vehicle are your headlamps. So don&#39;t be the person who neglects them and drives down the road with only one working bulb. If your bulbs need replaced, replace them. Better yet, upgrade your lights so you can enjoy improved visibility during your night drives. High-performance bulbs will help you see clearer,&nbsp;improve your vision&nbsp;distance and get the attention of oncoming traffic.&nbsp;</p>

Use This Maintenance Checklist.http://blog.TireRack.com/blog/bens-blog/summer-road-trip-use-this-maintenance-checklist
<p>
Before setting off on your summer adventures, take some time to check your car over to ensure everything is in good running condition. A little bit of time spent in advance can save a lot of time and trouble on the road. The following is a good basic checklist to help get your vehicle prepared to take you wherever you want to go:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/index.jsp?affiliate=HJ7" title="Brakes">Brakes</a> - Since many traction control systems use the brakes to prevent wheelspin, they may be working extra hard during your winter driving in the snow. Therefore, it&#39;s a good idea to get your brake pads inspected once the weather begins to heat up. Checking your pads is easy when replacing your Winter / Snow Tire &amp; Wheel Package for your summer options since the wheels will be off. There should be a noticeable thickness of pad material between the backing plate and the rotor. If the pads need to be replaced, there are cleaner, higher performing pad compounds available. Take a look at &quot;<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=80&amp;affiliate=HJ7">Brake Pad or Rotor Inspection &amp; Replacement</a>&quot; to gain a better understanding if it&#39;s time for new pads.<img alt="" src="https://cdn2.content.compendiumblog.com/uploads/user/3830be5e-cdd1-486f-a4e4-308bac9591c9/d217dcb7-b47f-4346-b0ae-8f8c650d50b5/Image/c1eb1aa7747501790e349274e3512c06/measuring_tire_pressure_3397.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 202px; margin: 5px; float: right;" /><br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/index.jsp?affiliate=HJ7" title="Lighting">Lighting</a> - Recruit a friend or family member to stand outside the car while you turn on the vehicle&#39;s headlights, high beams, turn signals and step on the brakes. If they tell you one of those lights isn&#39;t working properly, take a look at our lighting options from Hella and PIAA to improve your visibility.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=1&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Air Pressure - Correct, Underinflated and Overinflated">Tire Pressure</a> - Proper tire inflation can improve fuel economy, hydroplaning resistance and tire life. Make sure all four tires are inflated to the vehicle&#39;s specifications found in your owner&#39;s manual or on the door placard. Don&#39;t forget to check your spare tire, too. Also, be sure to have an <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/category.jsp?category=Air+%26+Tread+Depth+Gauges&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Air Gauge">air gauge</a> in your car so you can check your tire&#39;s pressure while traveling.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/category.jsp?category=Tire+Pressure+Monitoring+Systems&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="TPMS">Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)</a> - These systems only report tires that are significantly under-inflated, so checking tires yourself is still a good idea even if your car has TPMS sensors. While you&#39;re checking your tires&#39; air pressure, also inspect them for damage and wear.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/category.jsp?category=Tools&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Tools">Jack and Lug Wrench</a> - If you&#39;re relying on a spare tire in case of a flat, make sure that you have a working jack and lug wrench. It&#39;s nice to have something to serve as a wheel chock to make sure the car doesn&#39;t shift and fall off the jack. Something as simple as a block of wood will do. If you have custom wheels, it&#39;s important to make sure the lug wrench fits. The wheels could also have locks, so don&#39;t get stranded without the key! And since the lug nuts are different from stock, have some stock lugs for the spare.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
Belts and Hoses - Check them for dry, cracking or rotting as the rubber may give way at an inconvenient time. Replacing these items is usually fairly inexpensive, and can save you trouble.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
Check Fluids - Checking oil regularly is a good idea for any car, especially older vehicles that may be more prone to leak or burn oil. Even some newer cars can consume up to a quart every 1,000 miles. Make sure to check your coolant as well. Warmer weather can be harder on your cooling system and you want to be sure it&#39;s up to the task.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.tirerack.com/wipers/index.jsp?affiliate=HJ7" title="Wipers">Windshield Wipers</a> - Driving at highway speeds in the rain can be a challenge. Make sure that your wipers have survived the winter in good working order. Even with good wiper blades, consider applying a water-beading <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=174&amp;brand=Aquapel&amp;cat=Car+Care+-+Exterior&amp;affiliate=HJ7" title="Aquapel Glass Treatment">treatment</a> from Aquapel to improve your vision in the rain.</li>
